In this episode of the podcast, Frances outlines the many reasons why you should write a brief for your architect (and your landscaper and interior designer), and why it’s so important. She also provides an outline of what to think about when creating your brief, how to start creating one, and what to include, and who should be involved. As a starting point for the vision of your home, the brief is a reference document that is referred back to many times throughout the process of creating your Forever Home, so is a logical starting point to get the process moving. SHOWNOTES Why is Creating a Brief Important? 1. Allows you to create a vision of what you are trying to create, the core things that you need to include in your home, and what's really important for you. 2. It creates a dialogue for everyone who’s involved in the project – all family members, including the kids! You're able to sit down as a family and go through what is it you are trying to create and what's important to each of you. 3. It allows you to assess 'what you need Vs what you want. It allows you to identify key priorities. 4. You can refer back to the briefing document throughout the process to assess floorplans, landscaping, and interiors and how those consultants have responded to the brief
